Winter of Plum Blossom

After casually having a meal of mutton at a time-honored restaurant by the lake, Mei Zhe strolled in the alleys beside the imperial city of the capital.

As the night deepens, all kinds of shops with feasting lights illuminate the joys and sorrows of eating and drinking men and women.

The joys and sorrows in the world are not interlinked. For Mei Zhe, it was like a sudden addition of color to the world, which existed for so long in his 26 years of life, but he never noticed it.

The sudden and ignorant bustle and noise made him helpless and dizzy.

When the phone rang, Mei Zhe was sitting in front of a milk tea shop, biting a straw and looking at the tourists coming and going in the alley in front of him, seeing the shining eyes of those people, the interlocking hands of those people, their clothes were all in the same place. Echoing, the pace is also lingering...

He didn't drink, but he seemed drunk.

The call was from a stranger.After feeding for a long time, I found out that I was looking for myself.

The other party seemed to be a little drunk, talking incoherently, to the effect that Xiao Xiong, Chen Yue and his group were drunk and asked Mei Zhe to send them home.

This sort of thing Majer did a lot in England.

He agreed, then slowly put away his mobile phone, and in the alley full of ambiguous feelings, he squeezed through the deep desire and walked to the bar that the other party mentioned.

It's very close, less than 10 minutes away.

The caller was too drunk and didn't tell them where they were in the bar. Mei Zhe had to call again to find this group of people.

These people looked like they had just returned from hiking, and their backpacks were still casually thrown in the corner.Mei Zhe didn't tell them too much, and after asking about the location, he called a taxi and stuffed them one by one.

Chen Yue was not as drunk as last time, and he was in a daze in the corner of the bar. When Mei Zhe pushed him into the car, he didn't say a word in a daze, but after getting into the car, he lowered the window and turned to face Mei Zhe. Zhe said seriously.

"I can't find it, he's gone."

Mei Zhe felt sad for no reason.

Chen Yue said at the summit that he loved an Omega many years ago, and something happened when they split.

Is this because he is thinking about him?

For 26 years, Mei Zhe never remembers who he loved.

What is love?

When I was a child, I saw the note my father put in the book, which said, "I don't know where it started, but it goes deeper and deeper."

I marked it domineeringly on the side: so, location.Ancient Chinese inverted sentence.

Having been a student god and sports fanatic for more than 20 years, Mei Zhe's world has always been under his control, but suddenly, the world suddenly has a dimension of ignorance, which makes him at a loss and confused.

The next day, Chen Yue called Mei Zhe again to express his thanks. After exchanging pleasantries, he asked a very serious question.

"Mei Zhe, what exactly do you want to do when you come back from GAPYEAR? Is it really just for fun?"

Mei Zhe thought for a while, "Yes and no. I am very interested in China. Although I will definitely go back to the research institute next year, our family, especially my maternal ancestor's family, still hope that I can come back, even if it is with China. cooperate."

Chen Yue was silent for a while, "Xiao Xiong mentioned that Alfredo said that even among them, you are the top scholar."

Mei Zhe was not polite, "Of course, I can torture him ten or eight streets."

"Do you want to consider joining a domestic company?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Chen Yue laughed, "Okay, I'm looking for abuse by myself, yes, I'm joking. Then do you want to consider being a domestic research institute?"

"That's impossible. You smart people don't ask such stupid questions."

Chen Yue knew a little bit about the special features of special pheromones, so he never asked which research institute Mei Zhe belonged to.

He can know Mei Zhe entirely because of Xiao Xiong.

Xiao Xiong was his elementary school classmate, so they belonged to the same circle, but the Xiao family had always been in the military, so after Xiao Xiong joined the army, the two basically had no contact.I heard that Xiao Xiong did very well in the army, and entered a department where he couldn't even mention his name, and his rank was not low.

The two met at a party a few years ago, and Xiao Xiong heard that he was looking for relevant information on special pheromone research, so he agreed to keep an eye out for him.This time, because Mei Zhe came back for the intermission year, Xiao Xiong specially pulled a thread and introduced Mei Zhe to Chen Yue.According to Xiao Xiong, although he is young, Mei Zhe is one of the top scholars in the world in this field.

"So when you say that your family hopes you can come back, do you mean that you are cooperating with domestic industries on behalf of your research institute?"

Mei Zhe hesitated for a moment, "It's hard to say, I can't represent the institute. But I can accept private consultation in my personal capacity. Maybe directors can too, but they need to sign an agreement."

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence, "Under the premise that research confidentiality is not involved."

Chen Yue was silent for a long time this time, "I will introduce some people to you, some of these people are similar to me, some are better than me, are you OK?"

Mei Zhe laughed, "Of course it's OK, I wish for it. The favor you owe is really valuable, why did you suddenly remember to introduce me to the circle?"

Chen Yue didn't answer right away, Mei Zhe could imagine his frowning through the phone, "Suddenly? Didn't you ask Xiao Xiong to tell me?"

……Depend on!Xiao Xiong!Behind Xiao Xiong is my father...

Mei Zhe quickly changed his words, "Oh, sorry, yes, I asked him to help me before I came back."

"Okay. I'll pick you up by car on Saturday, two o'clock in the afternoon."

"Dressing code"

"You still want to wear a tuxedo? Forget it...you haven't been here before, just treat it as a private meeting of friends."

"Private Board of Directors?"

"Well, let's talk about my proposal from last week at this gathering."

What does Xiao Xiong want to do?

No, my father, what do they want to do?

After hanging up the phone, Mei Zhe was suspicious for a long time.

Xiao Xiong is a person Mei Zhe’s Alpha father found for him in the special department through his relationship. He happened to have a relationship with Alfredo, a colleague from the research institute in the UK, so his father said that he asked Xiao Xiong to introduce him to the capital. social circle.The academic circle does not need to deliberately make friends, after all, it will be easier to accept entry after actually publishing an article at an international conference in the future.

But Xiao Xiong stretched his hand a bit too far, right?It is impossible that there is no sign from the father behind this.

After returning, Mei Zhe discovered for the first time that his fathers were still planning something behind his GAPYEAR.

But why not just tell yourself?

The party was held in a small villa in the suburbs. The owner of the villa did not attend. It is said that he was thrown into the army by his parents and returned to the furnace.

This time the ratio is even more frightening, Alpha accounts for more than half, while Omega has less than three.They are not very old, and the oldest is in his early thirties.

When Chen Yue arrived, he greeted these people one by one, and brought Mei Zhe to a tall man.

This is Beta, who looks very similar to Chen Yue.

"Chen Chao. My brother. The successor of the Yang'an Group."

These days, I watched the turmoil of Chen Yue's proposal on the Internet every day, and Mei Zhe also saw all kinds of gossip about Chen Yue's family situation.

Chen Yue's parents are a combination of AB, and his mother is a Beta, but she is very vigorous and decisive, which is rare among Betas.Father Alpha, the one who sat next to Mei Zhe at the summit panel review, was elegant and gentle. It was not easy for Beta to give birth. When Chen Chao and Chen Yue were born, their mother was nearly forty years old, and she passed away shortly after giving birth to Chen Yue.

It is rumored that Chen Yue is more like a mother, while Chen Chao is more like a father.

However, Chen Yue is an Alpha, Chen Chao is a Beta, and the Yang'an Group handed over the inheritance rights to Chen Chao. The outside world has many conjectures about this, and Mei Zhe thinks it should be unreliable.

Two or three simple sentences, but the gestures, eyes, and expressions between the two brothers all say that the relationship between the two of them is very good.

...Well, do you want to buy some shares of Yang'an Group?

Chen Chao shook hands with Mei Zhe politely, and Mei Zhe looked at the man carefully.

He is about the same size as Chen Yue, but his eyebrows are not as sharp and flamboyant as Chen Yue's.The two brothers both have phoenix eyes. When Chen Yue squints his eyes, people feel that they are full of radiance. The light is so compelling that people can't look directly at them, while Chao Chen's eyes are big and bright. The tails of phoenix eyes are slightly raised, gentle and unrestrained.

"Call you Mei Zhe? Calling Dr. Mei always reminds me of the old professor in the university. I'm sorry for your sunny feeling."

Mei Zhe smiled, "Brother Chen can call you whatever you want."

Chen Yue interrupted, "Don't call him Big Brother Chen."

Super Chen also laughed, "Just call him Super Chen. When Chen Yue was young, he hated people saying he was the second child."

The brain circuits of this group of people were so strange, Chen Yue walked away with a sullen face, and threw Mei Zhe to Chen Chao.

Mei Zhe's real introduction was done by Chao Chen.

Most of the people who were introduced were very polite, but they also kept a certain distance.Although Mei Zhe's maternal ancestral family is also a family, after all, he grew up in the academic circle after he became sensible. At most, he was thrown by Alpha's father to the special forces to participate in the necessary self-defense training during the winter and summer vacations. There are open and secret struggles and mutual dependence with merchants, politicians and the army.

But he is not stupid. Among this group of people, there are few mainstays in the academic circle. He understands his own value, and also knows when to show his edge and when to hide his clumsiness and pretend to be stupid.

This is the way he has been best at interpersonal communication in the past seven years, and it is the result of his father's precepts and deeds.

The value of academia does not lie in attachment. This is almost the only circle that can have both sides. Of course, it is completely impossible to fly from the dragon to the phoenix.

Nor are they rare.

But this time, Mei Zhe's customary social etiquette encountered a lot of trouble. His world began to be restructured at that time. He had to face countless temptations and confusions, and quickly determined his own countermeasures.

He had to work very hard not to focus on the newly opened world, but on the social and etiquette he was familiar with.

After finally exchanging pleasantries, Mei Zhe found that the newly added color world brought extra surprises.

Chao Chen is undoubtedly an attractive man.

And this group of people are all human beings, the beauty of a person does not lie in their appearance, Mei Zhe seems to have been opened, and suddenly begins to have various feelings.

He suddenly remembered a martial arts book he read when he was a child. The last sentence was, "It's all very good, but I just don't like it."

These people are the most outstanding group in the eyes of others, male, female, and ABO, but Mei Zhe just doesn't feel it.

His eyes shifted to Chen Yue, he was seriously discussing something with an Alpha female, the outline of his side face was reflected by the afterglow of the setting sun with some blurred golden light, which softened his usually sharp appearance for no reason .

Looking at it, Mei Zhe also seemed to be immersed in the warm sunshine, with a smile on his face.

He took a glass of juice casually, and did not join the crowd, but habitually hid himself somewhere in the shadows, watching the man chatting with everyone with ease while drinking the juice.

Gradually, he could see that Chen Yue was basically testing back and forth with those whose elders in the family had a certain right to speak in the government system.

Mei Zhe didn't think clearly. It stands to reason that Chen Yue himself is an independent partner of a consulting company. His contacts are mainly in the business world, and he has nothing to do with the political and military circles. Even if he needs some policy information, it should be him. Are those customers looking for them?

About to put doubts on his face, a gentle voice sounded beside him.

"Chen Yue always wanted to do something in the pheromone circle after finishing his studies, but my father and I disagreed, fearing that the risk would ruin my mother's hard work. So he has been in the consulting industry for many years. The trust fund left by his mother has invested in several companies, and this time he wants to use this ecological chain to start from scratch."

It's Chao Chen.

He looked at his younger brother with admiration, pride, and faint worry in his eyes.

"He made too much circle this time. Behind this kind of thing, you must get the support of all departments of the empire. In addition to the O League Secretariat, you must also get the support of various subordinate departments of the Ministry of Health, at least not against it. Our outside The ancestor's family has contacts in the network technology department, but they don't have enough contacts in the health system, and Chen Yue may have to suffer for a while later."

Chen Chao said it lightly, but Mei Zhe knew that it was extremely difficult.However, he has been abroad for a long time, and he knows almost nothing about these domestic relations, and has no insight, so he can only nod awkwardly.

Unexpectedly, Chen Chao smiled and said, "You can actually help him."

"I?"

Super Chen thought for a while, smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, he didn't tell you, probably because he was embarrassed to trouble you."

Mei Zhe suddenly remembered what Chen Yue asked him if he wanted to join a domestic company or a domestic research institute, and he suddenly understood.

He smiled, "Hmm... Is his one still a studio?"

Chao Chen shook his head, "The company is registered. Haichi Lianyi Life Technology Co., Ltd."

...It's Haichi again, does this person like Haichi surrounded by mountains so much?

"Well... I will stay in China for a year anyway, why don't I be an independent director? Or chief scientist?"
